A

The Lego Group had a very humble beginning in the workshop of Ole Kirk Christiansen, a carpenter from

Denmark. Christiansen began creating wooden toys in 1932. Two years later, he came up with the name Lego by

putting together the first two letters of the

Danish words Leg and Godt, which mean “play well.” The name could

be interpreted as “I put together” in Latin; it

is also similar

to the Greek verb meaning “gather” or “pick up.”

In 1947, the company expanded to making plastic toys. At first, the use of plastic for toy production was not

highly regarded by businessmen and consumers of the time. Many of the Lego Group

’

s shipments were returned,

following poor sales. However, Christiansen

’

s son, Godtfred Kirk Christiansen, saw the great potential in Lego

bricks to become a system for creative play. As the junior managing director of the Lego Group, he spent years

trying

to

improve

the

“locking”

ability

of

the

bricks

and

made

the

bricks

more

flexible.

In

1958,

the

modern

interlocking(

连锁

) brick design was finally developed and patented.

Today Lego is sold in more than 130 countries. Every minute 33,824 Lego bricks are made, and kids around

the world spend 5 billion hours a year playing with Lego. There will be more than 400 million

people playing

with Lego bricks this year. On average, every person in the world owns 62 Lego bricks, and about seven Lego sets

are sold every second.

This

year

Lego

fans

all

over

the

world

are

celebrating

the

50th

anniversary

of

the

tiny

building

blocks.

Though already 50 years old, Lego is still the same product it was in the 1950s. Bricks bought then can still match

current bricks and that is probably the reason the toy has never fallen out of favor.

51. Which of the following is true about the name Lego?

A. It is a combination of Greek and Latin words.

B. It was created by Ole Kirk Christiansen

’

s son.

C. It was created in 1947 for naming the plastic toys.

D. It came from Danish words meaning

“

play

”

and

“

well.

”

52. When did the Lego brick become as a creative form of toy?

A.1934

B. 1947

C.1958

D. 1932

53. What is most likely the reason why Lego still remains popular?

A. Old Lego bricks may still be connected to new ones.

B. The company hasn

’

t changed its name since 1947.

C. The material for the bricks has proved to be safe.

D. The price of the toy is relatively reasonable.

B

During my ninth-grade year, I suffered from

“

anorexia nervosa

”

. It was not enough to be thin. I had to be

the thinnest. Now, however, fully recovered, I can reflect back and realize that my wishes were more complex

than fitting into size five pants. Many of my hidden emotions were related to my relationship with my father. As I

was growing up, his work always came first. Sometimes I would not see him for up to two weeks. Not only did he

devote his whole self to his work, but he expected me to do the same (“You cannot get anywhere unless you go to

the best universities!”). Though, consciously, I never felt

pressure to please him, I began dieting after the first time

he told me I looked fat.

At the time, all I knew was that I had to be thin

—

thinner than anyone else. Every month my father went to

Europe for a week or so and on the days he left, sorrow and emptiness swallowed me: Daddy was leaving. Then, I

turned to focus on a mysterious weakness

—

a helpless childlike emotion that came from starving. I liked to know

that I needed to be taken care of; maybe Daddy would take care of me.

Now, two years later and thirty- eight pounds heavier, I have come to realize that I cannot change my father

’

s

inability to express his feelings. Instead, I must accept myself. I know that I am a valuable person who struggles to

achieve and accomplish. But I cannot struggle solely for others. By starving, I attempted to gain pride in myself

by obtaining my father’s approval or acknowledgment of my value as a person. But the primary approval must

come from me, and I feel secure now that I can live with that knowledge safely locked in my mind.

54. What is

“

anorexia nervosa

”

as mentioned in the first line of the passage?

A. It is a situation of feeling self- doubting.

B. It is an inability to express one

’

s feelings.

C. It is someone who is emotionally unstable.

D. It is an illness that makes one want to stop eating.

55. Why did the writer suffer from anorexia nervosa?

A. She was told by her father to take care of herself.

B. She wanted to go to the best university.

C. She wanted her father

’

s attention.

D. She grew up in a poor family.

56. Which of the following statements is true about the writer?

A. She has problems controlling her tempers.

B. She is proud of herself for working hard to succeed.

C. She has had great confidence in herself since childhood.

D. She has changed her father

’

s way of expressing himself.

57. What

’

s the writer

’

s purpose of writing this passage?

A. To blame her father.

B. To report a case of child abuse.

C. To reflect on a stage of growing up.

D. To teach people how to lose weight.

C

In the Lincolnshire village of Burgh-le-Marsh there was once a large area of land called Bell String Acre. It

got its name, the local legend tells, because of a narrow escape. On a dark winter's night early in the seventeenth

century,

they

say,

a

ship's

captain

was

guiding

his

ship

to

pass

along

this

difficult

distance

of

coast

when

he

suddenly heard church bells.

“

If I can hear those,

”

the captain reasoned,

“

then I must be far too close to shore for

comfort.

”

Swiftly

he

changed

his

position,

thus

saving

himself

and

his

ship.

To

show

his

thanks,

he

soon

afterwards bought a piece of land at Burgh-le-Marsh. Rent on this Bell String Acre, he ordered, should go toward

the maintenance of the church bell's pull-rope, so that it might ring out its helpful warnings, he required firmly,

“

for ever.

”

Another less charming story tells how the townspeople refused to ring the bell, for they all relished the idea

of stealing goods from shipwrecks, but that a minister ran to the tower and rang the bell. His brave act saved the

ship,

but

then

the

minister

died

of

extreme

tiredness.

(And

then

it

is

said,

the

grateful

captain

married

the

clergyman's daughter.)

In any case, the captain

’

s

request is honored all winter long in Burgh-le-Marsh. Beginning every October 10,

the bell rings nightly at 8 p.m. April 7 is the last night of the bells

—

that is, till the next October.

58. What does the first paragraph mainly tell us?

A. Where Bell String Acre is.

B. A story about a brave captain.

C. The origin of Bell String Acre.

D. It is dangerous to sail along the coast.

59. It can be inferred from the passage that ____________.
